More and more we find today?s sailors looking for comfortable cruising boats that sail really well, yet are easy to handle with only family or friends aboard.
The Pearson 39 is just this kind of boat, a performance oriented cruiser that delivers superb handling under both sail and power.
Several innovations have contributed to this. The rig is simpler. Thus it?s possible to reef both the main and jib with a small crew, without leaving the cockpit. Big, self tailing winches, a cabintop traveller, 44" elkhide covered wheel and contoured cockpit seating all help maintain full-time crew comfort.
To summarize, the Pearson 39 is the result of years of experience. With its hull configuration, space utilization, creature comforts and convenience, the Pearson 39 delivers superb performance and unmatched elegance.
Sincerely,
Bill Shaw
Accommodations
2 cabin - 2 head - convertible settee - sleeps 7
The designer, Bill Shaw, says "Stepping belowdecks, you?ll have little choice but to be impressed by the warm rich wood with its cabinetmaker-quality joinerworker and hand-rubbed varnish finish. You will also find the finest in fabrics and design appointments. Classically elegant.
Drawing on the popularity of our other designs, we have produced an honest two-stateroom boat that is as comfortable for guests as it is for the owners. The galley is a chef?s delight. Spacious yet efficient, with ample counter space and everything within easy reach".
